I’m a H3 pilot with 20 years experience at many sites. Should be 4 by now but have to take the written.
Driving from LA to Chicago this week and would like to fly Telluride.
Who so I speak with to organize flying at your site?

Hi crew. My name is Danny and i’m a H4/P3 and I have not flown telluride before. Pulling into town this afternoon and will be here until Saturday. Please let me know if there is any flying going on. Thanks!

Just want to thank everyone here in Telluride for having us here to fly this amazing arena! Couldn’t have asked for better folks and conditions the last couple of weeks to watch the leaves change colors with in the San Juans from the sky! Thanks Neal for throwing this informal gathering and bringing us here to fly. What a hoot!

I’m the President of the Sandia Soaring Association over here in ABQ. Attached is a link to a PG XC informal comp I’m organizing for May-June. Spread the word, sign up, or just follow along on the blog

No worry’s Paul I flew my toy Falcon on the Winter Solstice. I would have stayed up but I was fucking with my verio. I thought it was a dead battery. It was just upside down and my eyes are so bad I didn’t realize I had turned it off.

I’m very concerned about Don right now we have no control over what he is doing and it doesn’t sound like he’s going to stop until he closes our flying site. This is exactly what happened at Snow biird and now that site is no more.

I think it might be time to have a talk with John Cohen about what’s happening on the mountain. Yesterday it looked nice on launch but was blowing hard North at the top of 9. It was also doing the North curl in Town. I decided not to go.

when I am in France, I will sometimes come off the mountain using my Little cloud 18m and superlight harness. Easy to ski around with, superlight and shazamm, nice sled ride back into town. No reserve, no radio, sorry but that is how it is done.

that is a great question. I happen to be skiing Telluride today and around 2:30 today, i noticed it was a drop dead gorgeous day, wind blowing up the hill at five to ten MPH and I saw No one launching from Gold Hill. What a day for sled ride

I am considering coming over to Telluride this week and was wondering if anyone wants to fly bear creek and maybe show me that area. I only brought my 11m so no interest in flying the front side, text 315-212-2862

Sandia Soaring President here. Just a heads up that our Peak launch has been improved and widened, and basically looks like Europe, well not really, but its awesome. Check out our new website: flysandia.com (not.org)
